mr. speaker, once again, we respect committees. committees will make their own decisions about what they want to do and we will cooperate with them. but mr. speaker, you can see just how much the conservatives don't want to talk about the economy and concerns of canadians. we put forward a budget which demonstrates we listen to canadians and are investing in the middle class and communities and they have no plan for the economy and that's why they are trying to distract canadians and play petty politics. we are going to remain focused on canadians. >> instead of listening to canadians and bringing down the cost of prescription drugs, the liberal prime minister gives powerful insiders special access to get what they want. canadians will be questioned -- he dodges and dismisses. he refuses to come clean. maybe we'll have an ethics justice committee to look at it. will the prime minister guarantee that canadians will hear from everyone involved before the next election? >> once again, i would like to wish a happy international day to my honorable colleague and remind him about the rules of this place. the committee itself decides what

. >> are you going to cooperate with mr. nadler? >> i cooperate all the time with everybody. no collusion, it's all a hoax. >> all right, so trump says i cooperate all the time which clearly is really not the case when you fact check it. how much pushback should democrats expect from this white house? can they handle this pressure right now, this administration, every they're under? >> legally the president has cooperated with robert mueller. he's allowed witnesses to meet with mueller's team. legally it appears he's so far cooperating with congressional investigators in terms of not trying to exert any kind of executive power to prevent testimony or documents from going over. at the same time, the political behavior of president trump has been incendiary. he's been attacking the mueller investigation as a witch hunt. calling congressional investigations a hoax. democrats have to deal with that element, even if they're not getting blocked on witnesses. they're really in a political war with this president. >> is it safe to say, ari, give us your legal perspective on this, fro

mr. president, are you going to cooperate with mr. nadler? resident trump: i a cooperate all thead time. you know the beatable thing? no collusion, it's all a hoax. >> tucker: that was the president yesterday signaling in his way, his willingness to cooperate with yet more democratic investigations into russia! he will be doing that the next p two years since investigations have become a top priority of the democratic party far above fixing the drug and alcohol and suicide crisis. will that work as a campaign platform? brit hume has covered a lot of the campaign, he joins us tonight. do you think -- and this is a sincere question because who knows what voters want, do you thinkss that is a winning messa? a vote for us or we'll investigate you? >> it isn't the message that the house members who successfully captured control of that body ran on last fall. they talked about delivering for the american people on things like health care and other matters. they make a case on the economy on the extent that they can but they didn't run on endless inv

. >> sir, are you going to cooperate with mr. nadler? >> i cooperate all the time with everybody. and you know the beautiful thing? you know, it's all a hoax. you learn about that as you grow older. it's a political hoax. >> all right. joining me now nbc news intelligence national reporter ken dilanian, jill wine-banks, and former federal prosecutor kathy fleming. i told a lie because the guy i see on my screen is not ken dilanian. sir, who are you? >> i'm a poor substitute for ken dilanian, but i'll do my best. >> i apologize for that, mike. i know you and ken have been working on this together. mike, the list of names which we can put up on the wall there is extensive. what jumps out at you? >> believe it or not, ali, the committee sources tell me when they first drew up a list of potential targets as part of this investigation that the judiciary committee is launching today, they started with over 150 names. they realized they couldn't necessarily begin with that big of a number so they tried to narrow it down, came down to 81. of course there are obvious headliners there, the
